Cynthia Erivo Stops Dracula Performance After Spotting An Audience Member Filming
Cynthia Erivo brought a live performance of Dracula to an abrupt halt on Monday night, after spotting an audience member filming in the audience.
The show was then paused, with one audience member later sharing footage they filmed during this break, questioning: “Whatever happened to theatre etiquette?”
Metro also cited another audience member who claimed that the filming patron was “kicked out” by security, with the Oscar nominee returning to the stage to resume her performance after a 10-minute break.
HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for Cynthia Erivo and the Noel Coward Theatre, where Dracula is currently playing, for comment.
And just this month, Lesley Manville took issue with the current trend that has seen theatres allowing guests to film the curtain call on their phones.
“It’s theatre – let’s preserve it!” she told Radio 4. “We are all in this room, we are telling you a story, you’re listening – clap or don’t clap, but don’t just stick your phone in our face. I find it insulting.”
